The sharpness of Sam Bielanski's voice—and resolve—shine through on PONY's new single "WebMD," where you can almost hear her frantically type symptoms into a search bar behind sugar-shocked guitars. Don't let the doomsday prophecy sway you from the track's inherent brightness and sturdy hook. You'd be a hypochondriac if you do.
lyrics
I come home
Don’t make any plans
Google my symptoms and take off my pants
I put on another scary movie
If I’m alone then there’s no one who can use me
It’s way too late for you to try
Don’t want you to
I don’t want to need anyone
Cause anyone can pull me down.
I crack a smile
It’s the first that I have in a while
It’s just for me
Smiling for you is so exhausting
I got caught up putting you before me
I’m so embarrassed I got lost inside your mess
It’s way too late for you to try
Don’t want you to
I don’t want to need anyone
Cause anyone can pull me down
But I don’t want to drown inside of you
